Reports have been circulating that Egypt has been working to attempt to free some of the Israeli captives being held in Gaza.
More than 100 Israelis are believed to have been abducted and held in the Strip.
The Wall Street Journal, however, cites Egyptian officials saying that their negotiators “failed to convince the Palestinian factions to release injured Israeli captives.”
Earlier the newspaper reported that Israel had reached out to Cairo to request its intervention.
